This study is about understanding how the culture of celebrities losing weight can impact how plus-size individuals understand body-related movements such as body positivity and fat acceptance, along with how they navigate their own body image. We would like to center the voices of people whose bodies are most often discussed, but least often heard in conversations around weight loss, celebrity culture, and body image to understand how these messages affect mental health and everyday experiences.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is not currently enrolling.
